Editing only a percentage of an image

katieg80957679  wrote I have an image I can only edit 30% it is for a competition, how can I do this?......without too much fiddling around. I am using PS E9.

Use one of the selection tools to select the area that you wish to edit

Place the selection on its own layer (CTRL+J)

Make your edits on this layer

If you are so inclined, post a representative picture here on the forum for additional targeted directions. You can do that via the insert image icon at the top of the reply box.
